When the morning light penetrates the ginkgo leaves and sprinkles on the red brick archway, you are standing at the entrance of Tokyo's art heart. The neoclassical temple of Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum welcomes you with a 12-meter-high dome corridor - this is not only Japan's first public art museum, but also an aesthetic time machine spanning a century. Brushing your fingertips across the exposed concrete wall designed by Tadao Ando, you will encounter the hazy Fuji of Yokoyama Taikan in the permanent exhibition, and encounter Renoir's gentle brushstrokes in the special exhibition hall. In March, cherry blossoms will float into the exhibition hall from the floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing Monet's water lilies to dance with real petals; in the art shop on the basement floor, Ukiyo-e silk scarves are draping Hokusai's waves on his shoulders. If you come with children, don't forget to experience the AR magic in the digital tour - Van Gogh's sunflowers will bloom in your palm. Tired of shopping? Sit in the atrium cafe and sip the limited exhibition theme latte art, watching the light and shadow flow on Rodin's sculptures. At this moment, the art feast has already surpassed the boundaries of the picture frame.
